Not being funny but can you use it for making concrete or for sand bags?

Tidal flats, I've had some experience with them.

Put my truck in a cow belly one time. Thought that thing was gone. An F250 Fx4 almost buried itself trying to get me out. But a 94 2wd Tacoma yanked my arse clean out.

Sand and rock beds in Thompson's Creek will let you sink to your waist in a split second. Scary stuff.

I was once in a clearing in North
Claiborne Parish. Real sandy soil on a plateau-like area atop a hill. Saw some moist ground around a very small pondish area. Took one step and sunk to my knee cap. I fell backwards and managed to get out with just a boot lost. It was bad enough to scare me pretty bad. Always felt those types of areas are likely spots that feed the aquifers, but dont really know. The same trip I got hornet stung about a dozen times and stepped on a board with a nail sticking straight up... went through my tennis shoe and foot (had extra shoes in car). All that crap caused me to have sudden stomach issues.....still shake my head when I cross the little bridge I exploded under. A bad day.

I've been up to my chest in mud/sand at the delta. The more you fought the deeper you'd get. Not sure where I would have hit solid ground but I don't think I was ever close.

That shite is scary. Aren't you supposed to go horizontal and try to roll your way out?

There were 3 of us waking in setting decoys. 2 were stuck, the third threw us a paddle and the jet sled to use as leverage to get out. Debated leaving the decoys after we got out.
Was extremely hungover that morning and that's one of the main reasons I don't drink much before a hunt anymore.

Idk if this is quick sand or not but I was riding my four wheeler with my gf (no pics) on the Buffalo river one time after a rain and was moving along in like third or fourth gear and all of a sudden we sunk. Stopped me so hard I almost went over the handle bars. I jumped off and grabbed a big limb and jobbed into the ground and held the top of it and hooked the winch to it and it popped right out. I couldn't believe it came out, I thought we had a long arse walk ahead of us.

I got into some crossing Brown's Creek just west of the Buffalo River one morning while turkey hunting. Scary shite. Had to paddle/dig/swim my way out using shotgun butt. Never got all the sand out of that 870.

Took three guys to pull me out of some in a tide pool duck hunting one morning on the bayside of Galveston. Stuck at/just above the knee and getting worse when they got back over to me

I experience usually soon after a rain as the water in the creeks and rivers has subsided. I don't recall ever getting into any that was bottomless. But until you hit bottom and are up to your crotch it is some scary shite.
Most times it only comes up to my knee or lower. But when you hit a spot that is deeper it is scary as hell.
It usually looks normal until you make that last wrong step and afterwards you can see the water just running out of it and you wonder how it held so much water and why the water didn't run out of it before you stepped in it.

Aw, shite yeah. Quicksand's a scary motha, man. I mean, first of all, it suck you right in, and even if you scream, you get all that muck in your mouth...

I don't believe it exists.

Its not exactly water and ain't exactly earth!!!
I've been in it on Thompson creek. Fortunately never past my knees.

There is a film, dont know if its on u tube or anything about a lady getting in mud flats alaska. She sunk pretty fast, and despite people arriving and helping, she ended up drowning with the tide came back in. Sad.
